Help IDing a little tiny coin***UPDATED***
5 Attachment(s)
I found this coin this past weekend . It was 8"+ deep & hit at 21 on the Nox . It's not a dime . It has a Roman numeral 1 in the center . After looking at US coins smaller than a dime , I'm pretty sure it's a foreign coin . I looked at Mexican coins next since I'm only 350 miles from the Mexican border & at one time Arizona was part of the Mexican territories . I found that a 1883 Mexican One Centavo had a Roman numeral in the center and was slightly smaller than a dime . I checked the diameter and it was right on the money . I'd like to clean it to try & get some more details but I'm a little apprehensive in doing so . Any thoughts on cleaning it & How ?
***UPDATED PHOTOS IN THE COMMENTS . POSITIVE ID*** |
Look for tooth picking methods on YouTube. Don't use any water or chemicals. In short, super dry, tooth pick dirt off nice and slow. Good luck!

As was suggested by EmuDetector , I went to work with a tooth pick and managed to get enough details to ID the coin . It's actually a Arizona tax token . They were minted between 1937 - 1942 . A cool find but not 1883 Mexican coin cool :heartylaugh:

Still a pretty cool find! Nice work on the clean up :)

Awesome clean up, looks good!
